Roman

Why?Because a new empire always emerges.

We thought the empire was crumbling when the owners of Diner and Marlow & Sons closed both Bonita locations this summer. But from the delicious fish taco ashes of the Fort Greene location rises a new concept, a cozy Italian restaurant named after co-owner Andrew Tarlow’s tot, Roman. The menu changes daily and follows the course of a traditional Italian meal; that is, instead of a chicken parm hoagie and a coke, it’s several small courses of pasta, soup, risotto, meat, and salad. Save room for Thanksgiving.
